Custom Query Examples

[BLOMASKY]

I have the needs to have a query with an <a> attribute, so I guess its a custom query. Before I re-invent what others have done, wondering if there are any examples of "pretty" queries.

do u want a bsv or just images?

I would like to see the HTML / CSS that makes the "pretty" grids. So text is fine.

I don't understand the question.

Webflow

OK, perhaps I didnt explain my request well enough

When creating a query you have a few options , they include STANDARD which lays out the grid with alternating colors, nice headings, etc. etc. that we use 99% of the time) and CUSTOM

With custom, you write your HTML with <td> <tr>, etc. etc. This will allow me to put more "stuff" into the grid. However, out of the box, something like
<table>
<tr>
<td>{field1}</td>
<td>{field2}</td>
</tr>
</table>

Looks butt ugly. I see a couple of examples in some of the sample programs, but wondered if others have come up with a nicer layout (with headings, colors, etc.) so I don't have to start at square 1

Does this make sense?

thanks

Exactly my point Bruce.
I use that tool if I need to build any html layout including custom queries such as in the Sales Portal demo

I looked at bootstrap builder (BB) and it didn't make much sense how it applied, until Mark showed me exactly how he was using it.
instead of writing
<table>
<tr>
<td>{field1}</td>
<td>{field2}</td>
</tr>
</table>

in BB, you wysiwyg your output, copy & paste what it generated into the CUSTOM QUERY box and you've got pretty output. if you were handier with CSS & HTML than the average bear, then you probably don't need this, but for us peons, it opens up that world of CUSTOM output.

Using CQ layouts in conjunction with 'AwareApp.startProc..' you can achieve great user experiences.
And if you also utilize CSS with onHover, you might find that you use CQ Layouts more than Standard.
What you also notice is just how many record sets are more 'friendly'/efficient displayed as inline blocks, rather than boring rows..

can do a little bsv in a couple of days.

Also have a look at some sample applications that include some custom queries - Sales Portal and CRM in particular.
